Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45
NOTE:
A/T fluid level will be greatly affected by temperature as shown in figure. Therefore, be certain to
perform operation while checking data with CONSULT-II.
a. Connect CONSULT-II to data link connector. Refer to AT-92, "
CONSULT-II SETTING PROCEDURE" .
b. Select “MAIN SIGNALS” in “DATA MONITOR” mode for “A/T” with CONSULT-II.
c. Read out the value of “ATF TEMP 1”.
7. Re-check A/T fluid level at A/T fluid temperatures of approximately 65
C (149F) using “HOT” range on A/
T fluid level gauge.
CAUTION:
When wiping away the A/T fluid level gauge, always use lint-free paper, not a cloth one.
To check A/T fluid level, insert the A/T fluid level gauge
until the cap contacts the end of the A/T fluid charging
pipe, with the A/T fluid level gauge reversed from the nor-
mal attachment conditions as shown.
8. Check A/T fluid condition.
If ATF is very dark or smells burned, check operation of A/T.
Flush cooling system after repair of A/T.
If A/T fluid contains frictional material (clutches, bands, etc.),
replace radiator and flush cooler line using cleaning solvent
and compressed air after repair of A/T. Refer to CO-14,
"RADIATOR" (for VQ35DE engine), CO-43, "RADIATOR"
(for VK45DE engine) and AT- 1 4 , "A/T Fluid Cooler Cleaning" .
9. Install the removed A/T fluid level gauge in the A/T fluid charging
pipe.
10. Tighten level gauge bolt.

Changing A/T FluidNLS00081
1. Warm up ATF.
2. Stop engine.
3. Loosen the level gauge bolt.
4. Drain ATF from drain plug and refill with new ATF. Always refill
same volume with drained ATF.
To replace the ATF, pour in new ATF at the A/T fluid charging
pipe with the engine idling and at the same time drain the old
ATF from the radiator cooler hose return side.
When the color of the ATF coming out is about the same as
the color of the new ATF, the replacement is complete. The
amount of new ATF to use should be 30 to 50% increase of
the stipulated amount.
CAUTION:
Use only Genuine NISSAN Matic J ATF. Do not mix with other ATF.
Using ATF other than Genuine NISSAN Matic J ATF will cause deterioration in driveability and
automatic transmission durability, and may damage the automatic transmission, which is not
covered by the warranty.
When filling ATF, take care not to scatter heat generating parts such as exhaust.
Do not reuse drain plug gasket.
5. Run engine at idle speed for 5 minutes.
6. Check A/T fluid level and condition. Refer to AT- 1 3 , "
Checking A/T Fluid" . If ATF is still dirty, repeat step 2.
through 5.
7. Install the removed A/T fluid level gauge into A/T fluid charging pipe.
8. Tighten the level gauge bolt.
Checking Transfer FluidNLS00082
Check for fluid leakage and fluid level.
(For details, refer to TF-9, "
Inspection" .)

Never start engine while checking fluid level.ATF: Genuine NISSAN Matic J ATF

Checking Power Steering Fluid and LinesNLS0008E
Check fluid level in reservoir tank with engine off.
Use “HOT” range at fluid temperatures of 50 to 80
C (122 to 176F)
or “COLD” range at fluid temperatures of 0 to 30
C (32 to 86F).
CAUTION:
Do not overfill.
Recommended fluid is Genuine NISSAN PSF or equivalent.
Refer to MA-12, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRI-
CANTS" .

Check lines for improper attachment, leaks, cracks, dam-
age, loose connections, chafing and deterioration.
Check rack boots for accumulation of power steering fluid.
Axle and Suspension PartsNLS0008F
Check front and rear axle and suspension parts for excessive play,
cracks, wear or other damage.
Shake each wheel to check for excessive play.
Check wheel bearings for smooth operation.
Check axle and suspension nuts and bolts for looseness.
Check strut (shock absorber) for oil leakage or other damage.
Check suspension ball joint for grease leakage and ball joint
dust cover for cracks or other damage.

CONSULT-II Function (IPDM E/R)NKS004E6
CONSULT-II can display each diagnostic item using the diagnostic test modes shown following.
CONSULT-II BASIC OPERATION
CAUTION:
If CONSULT-II is used with no connection of CONSULT-II CONVERTER, malfunctions might be
detected in self-diagnosis depending on control unit which carry out CAN communication.
1. With the ignition switch OFF, connect CONSULT-II and CON-
SULT-II CONVERTER to the data link connector, and then turn
the ignition switch ON.
2. Touch “START (NISSAN BASED VHCL)”.
3. Touch “IPDM E/R” on “SELECT SYSTEM” screen.
If “IPDM E/R” is not indicated, refer to GI-40, "
CONSULT-II Data
Link Connector (DLC) Circuit" .
Inspection Item, Diagnosis Mode Description
SELF-DIAG RESULTS The IPDM E/R performs diagnosis of the CAN communication and self-diagnosis.
DATA MONITOR The input/output data of the IPDM E/R is displayed in real time.
CAN DIAG SUPPORT MNTR The result of transmit/receive diagnosis of CAN communication can be read.
ACTIVE TEST The IPDM E/R sends a drive signal to electronic components to check their operation.

IPDM E/R (INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE ENGINE ROOM)
Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45
Auto Active TestNKS004E7
DESCRIPTION
In auto active test mode, operation inspection can be performed when IPDM E/R sends a drive signal to the
following systems:
Rear window defogger
Front wiper (LO, HI)
Tail lamps, parking lamps and license plate lamps
Front fog lamps
Headlamps (LO, HI)
A/C compressor (magnetic clutch)
Cooling fan
Oil pressure warning lamp
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Close hood and front door (passenger side), and then lift wiper arms away from windshield (to prevent
glass damage by wiper operation).
NOTE:
When auto active test is performed with hood opened, sprinkle water on windshield beforehand.
2. Turn ignition switch OFF.
3. Turn ignition switch ON, and within 20 seconds, press driver's door switch 10 times (close other doors).
Then turn ignition switch OFF.
4. Turn ignition switch ON within 10 seconds after ignition switch OFF.
5. When auto active test mode is actuated, horn chirps once. Oil pressure warning lamp starts blinking.
6. After a series of operations is repeated three times, auto active test is completed.
NOTE:
When auto active test mode has to be cancelled halfway, turn ignition switch OFF.
CAUTION:
Never start the engine.
If the engine starting operation is made, delete DTC on the self-diag results of CONSULT-II.
Refer to BL-81, "
CONSULT-II Application Items" .
Be sure to inspect GW-52, "Door Switch Check" when the auto active test cannot be performed.
